Nearly 400 employees will exceed a $100 million net worth.
SpaceX IPO will create 4,400 new Millionaires, from engineers to Cafeteria workers.
God bless Capitalism
JUST IN: SpaceX IPO reportedly expected to mint 4,000 new millionaires — “from engineers to cafeteria workers”
May Europe one day wake up and start striving for this level of capitalistic homerun. Dump the degrowth nonsense, celebrate progress, and once again reach for the stars.
Elon Musk just created ~5,000 new millionaires, current and former $SPCX employees.
Of those ~5,000 people, roughly 400 of them will see stakes worth $100+ million.
JUST IN: 400 current & former SpaceX employees are poised to become worth over $100 million from the IPO.
@Polymarket SpaceX cafeteria workers rn
@Polymarket Me and the SpaceX lunch lady
@skscartoon Great
To infinity and...
@Polymarket This is how legendary companies are built. Not just by making the founder rich. By letting the people who took the risk, worked insane hours, solved impossible engineering problems, and stayed through years of uncertainty share in the upside.
@Polymarket
@Polymarket If you think this is a "good reason" to defend capitalism, well, you're wrong.
Those are just 400 people. Four hundred, that's all.
I'd rather distribute one hundred million to at least 100,000 people, than put it in the hands of 400 hoarders.
Honestly, that’s closer to qualified than you’d think. Musk has said in multiple interviews that a degree isn’t required at his companies, evidence of ability and work ethic is.
The stories in this post back it up. Juan Hernandez walked in as an hourly welder who had never heard of SpaceX. No degree, no science background. Eleven years later he’s holding $880,000 in stock.
The filter at SpaceX was never credentials. It’s whether you show up and survive the pace. Sounds like you’d clear the first bar already.
@heyshrutimishra How many millionaires has @SenSanders created?
1… himself.
@Polymarket Don’t forget Elizabeth Warren wanted to stop the SpaceX IPO
@heyshrutimishra I would love to work for Elon. I don’t have a degree and I’m not a scientist. But I show up to work and I’m honest how about that?
@heyshrutimishra You mean about to liquidate 500million people 😂. Only dummies would think a greedy and selfish billionaire who supposedly has a revolutionary idea decides to share the potential wealth with the average person. 😂🤡. Why would he? Can’t he fund the entire thing? 🤷🏾♂️
@DeepBlueCrypto OMG!🤯
@ak48503 @Polymarket The nice things about capitalism is that you're entirely free to do so. Go start a business, create 100 million in value and then give it away
Or were you thinking of doing it the socialist way, were you don't create anything yourself and just take what others have created?
@heyshrutimishra Meanwhile, Canadian Member of Parliament for Kingston, Ontario called Elon Musk a stain on his city.
Musk briefly studied engineering at Queen's University in Kingston.
@skscartoon I was offered a job at space x for 75% of the pay I was making offshore oil and gas in Texas in 2016. I declined and stayed offshore making great money. I now realize I'm gay and retarded. LFG space x.
@skscartoon @elonmusk SpaceX is underestimated 🫡
What am exciting time for all the long term employees, who will now be rewarded for decades, in some cases, of hard wotk!
And what fun, to have seen the numbers, whether it was hr, investor relations, or payroll, who discovered that 4400, would now have a million dollars, or more.
Just think of how many others, will be getting six figures!
But the really fun part, is that when I watch a launch, or a catch, I see all the workers, so completely engaged, and excited, by what they've done. It shows in the way they celebrate. It shows on their faces. At launch, at landing, I don't think any of them, were counting stock options.
They are helping humanity get to Mars.
